Lockout Thread

Everyone is going to go ahead and take it at face vale that the owners tried to sneak something in here, right? No chance the NFLPA* messed up in their communcation with the actual players?

Just making sure, thanks.

nope

the owners also gave the union a deadline on when they have to recertify by...which is being nothing more than completely antagonistic

i dont think the owners got nearly wanted they wanted in this deal but they cant stand the thought of losing games/money so they ratified it...and now are acting like babies poking and prodding the union because they arent happy with it

I'd lean towards the billionaire boys club being the antagonists here. They're playing a PR battle now.

Yeah, giving the players a deadline was totally a fleshpop move. They should have just said they were cool with "whenever."

Hippies.

[ice grillin you]

management telling a union when to take a vote on anything is pretty much the ultimate slap in the face of organized labor

mort.

It wasnt a fleshpop move nor was it a slap in the face. It was a power move designed to put the pressure and the scrutiny on the union. They tried to slide some new shtein in there and now are playacting like they're surprised that the union wants to take a look at the details. It's all theater and posturing and bullshtein. farg the owners.

Pretty sure that they would consider sending in scabs (or Pinkerton agents) to be more of an "ultimate slap".

No offense, but Heath Evans has absolutely ZERO idea of anything. Just sayin.

theres no chance he knows nothing...hes an nfl player....he could know everything or he could know somewhere in the middle...my bet is middle high
